I’m not saying that you have to love it all.

But yes, you should love it all.

Born in Shanghai, China, raised in Queens, NY and educated in England and France, Christine is an actor, writer and global social impact organizer. From training at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, École Philippe Gaulier and Upright Citizens Brigade and producing social impact campaigns around the world for nonprofits, she explores humanity and our global landscape through various mediums with curiosity.

 

As a first-gen, Christine learned English by watching film and tv, wide-eyed and studying. As she grew and consumed a mess of art, she became obsessed with the never-ending examination of our beauty (what even is that) through the interrogation of our ugliness (who dictates that). She aims to create and collaborate internationally in new stage and screen work and reimagine classics that transcend time. In 2024, she wrote and staged her first solo show in Los Angeles and London, Lipstick doesn't make you pretty., in association with East West Players and sponsored by Amy Hill where she considered whirlpools of shame, filial piety and grace through her multilingual universe. 

 

​Christine is an actor who can sing, if requested, and dance, whenever there's music. She enjoys plunging into characters through music and vocal exploration and as a movement lover, she finds joy in contemporary and hip hop styles and has brought her dance fluency into martial arts. A language enthusiast, Christine was luckily born into the Chinese language and grew up with American English to then traversing British English and French. She is currently learning German and Japanese and hopes one day to work in all these languages.

 

Lastly, her simple pleasures? Handwritten notes on scratch paper, conversations unfurled with a sour beer or a glass of red, and long drives with Spotify's personalized mixes. Let's dance it out x
